Thant's exactly what I also want.

I also do not have/use gapps but (especially) WhatsApp is quite persistent/annoying pushing to be updated so frequently, often for no real reason at all.

Hopefully someone will share a workaround to solve, or at least to minimize, that annoyance

So why do you want to prevent Whatsapp updates? Because the module is not working with newer WhatsApp versions?

1st : I provide remote assistance to some (less tech savvy) users and due to the overly frequent updates of WhatsApp I am forced to establish connections to pursue the updates on their devices

2nd : Various modules are known to conflict with newer WhatsApp versions, some stop working altogether, some work only partially or get crippled by the newer WhatsApp versions

FAQ

Some chats are not highlighted How do I fix this ?
Those facing issue when particular chat is not highlighted,
edit that contact and add your country code to the contact ( for ex: +91 for India ). This is workaround until the issue is fixed.
Thanks @NightRaven49 for reporting and testing the solution.

Changing delivery report setting has no effect is this a bug ?
you need to open whatsapp once for delivery report setting changes to take effect.

I see frequent toasts like 'unable to uodate privacy setting..' after enabling hide status
Enable hide toasts. It will disable all toasts. WhatsApp has implemented very few toasts so it wont affect you much.

After trying to add contact to blacklist it is not actually added
please read this post

Why WhatsApp asks superuser permissions after installing module or why the module itself needs superuser

How to translate special strings ?
there are currently one string and one string array you need to watch out for.
First one is "menuitem_call"
Procedure: Select your target language on phone. Long press on whatsapp call button. A toast will appear. Translate the string to whatever message appears in the toast. Important thing is to make first letter lower case.

Second one is "oneclickactions"
Procedure: Same as above. You have to long press Reply, Info, Forward, buttons and put whatever comes in the toast.Do not make first letter lower case here.

Guys i found an amazing private chat app which is completely private and secured called "Bazaa", try downloading it and use it for your private secured chat... it doesnt ask for your email id or phone number, u can just create an alias and start using it... right now its only available on Android platform and desktop version.
To download the app, click on the following link
play.google.com

Bazaa - Apps on Google Play

Private Secured Chat Network

Hello all,

I got very unsetteling thretening messages via WhatsApp from an unknown number. I took 8 screenshots of the conversation.

Sometime later the person messenging me wrote "you took 8 screenshots".
I am very worried and scared. How could the person possibly know ?

Can anyone here tell me if this is a feature of some Whatsapp mods?

I am pretty freaked out and am trying to understand my options.
Thank you for any hint on how this may be possible,

John

As I recall, I read a long time ago (before the option to access WhatsApp with a fingerprint came out), that by activating the fingerprint feature, your chats could know when you take a screenshot, currently I did not check if this is true , I only read it a long time ago, so if you have access to WhatsApp with fingerprint activated, that is possibly the reason that he knew that you took screenshots.

However, follow the advice of the colleague who wrote above me, and block him, and report him.

Thank you! I found out that there are at least two WA mods that notify you when someone takes a screenshot of the chat window. It must be that, which is good to know and hopefully is helpful to some people.

Do you know if a blocked user has any way of getting notified about me changing number, say with a mod?

I would say no, but I can't be sure, the best way is to ask WhatsApp directly.

    WhatsApp Extensions is a Xposed module which adds additional features to standard whatsApp application.
    This module is much similar to WhatsAppX module.

    Features include:
    Option to directly call over phone.
    Lock facility to individual chats.
    Reminder - Reminds you to reply to a contact.
    Highlight Chats.
    Per contact custom wallpaper.
    Permanently archive chats.
    Hide last seen.
    Hide read receipts.
    Hide delivery reports. ( Unstable. See bugs section )
    Hide Camera Button from bottom bar.
    Zoom profile photo.
    Replace call button ( works only for supported languages )
    Click messages to reply/forward/see info
    Get stats about messages ( per chat ) - github like implementation of monthly activity
    More to come.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Bugs:
    If your internet connection is off and someone sends you messages. after connecting to internet delivery reports will be sent.
    If you experience delay in messages enable delivery reports - turn off option in module.
    black ticks and hide tabs options will no longer work because whatsapp changed something in their code from v 2.17.x. There could be a solution but not known.

    How to use:
    - To unarchive personal chats you need to first unhide it from menu then long press the chat, click unarchive button from top WhatsApp bar.
    - You need to restart WhatsApp once you unhighlight a chat to avoid unwanted effects.

    It looks like the shared preferences object cannot be created with world readable value. Some things may have changed in Nougat. I dont do android full time so not updated with the latest stuff.
    I'll try to provide support for Nougat as soon as I can.
    Thanks.
